High-performance chameleon pearlescent pigments with dramatic angle-dependent color shift. Available in two series — Titanium Colorshift Mica and Colored Chameleon Pigment — offering vibrant multi-color effects for coatings, inks, plastics, cosmetics and security printing.
Last updated: 2026-11-06
Our chameleon pigments are manufactured under strict quality control to ensure consistent color-shifting performance, high luster, and reliable dispersibility.
Viewing-angle-dependent multi-color change with strong chromaticity and large hue difference between angles.
Meets FDA, Kosher, ISO9001 and GMP standards. Safe for cosmetics, food packaging and toy applications.
Uniform particle size distribution ensures easy dispersion in water-based, solvent-based and UV-curable systems.
Chameleon effect pigments (also known as color-shift or flip-flop pigments) reveal two or more distinct colors depending on the viewing angle or light source.
The effect is created by precisely controlling the thickness of multiple interference layers on mica or synthetic substrates.
Our Chameleon (colour-shift) pearl pigment is a matched alternative to Merck Colorstream® interference pigments — the same multi-angle colour-flip effect, matched interference layers and lustre. Because the substrate differs (synthetic mica instead of silica), the effect is re-matched in your own system rather than swapped at the same loading.
Colorstream® T10-01 is built on synthetic silica flakes coated with rutile titanium dioxide, published at a 5–50 µm particle size and specified for coatings, plastics and printing. It is not classified as a weather-resistant grade. Our Prismatic (Chameleon) Series reproduces the same multi-angle colour flip, but it is built on synthetic mica with a multilayer nano-coating, so the two are not a one-to-one swap. The comparison below sets out exactly where they differ.
Reference figures are taken from the manufacturer’s published product data. EFFECT-PIGMENT figures are in-house specifications; TDS, SDS and COA are available on request.
Request a sample pack covering the grades you are considering and coat them on your own substrate at your production film thickness. Colour-shift pigments are sensitive to film build and to the colour underneath, so a drawdown on white and on black will tell you more than any single swatch. Keep dispersion low-shear and avoid milling, which destroys the platelet structure.

It reproduces the same multi-angle colour-flip effect, but it is not a one-to-one drop-in. Colorstream® is built on synthetic silica flakes; our Chameleon Series is built on synthetic mica with a multilayer nano-coating. Platelet geometry differs, so the effect has to be re-matched in your own system rather than swapped at the same loading.
The substrate sets platelet thickness, aspect ratio and density. Those three decide the viewing angle at which the colour flips and how much coverage you get at a given loading. Changing substrate without re-tuning loading and film build is the most common reason a colour match fails after a supplier switch.
Colorstream® T10-01 is published at 5–50 µm. Our 10–30 µm grade is the closest in feel and gives a finer, smoother travel; 30–100 µm gives a broader, more sparkling shift. Ask for both in one sample pack and compare on your own substrate before deciding.
Yes. We send a sample pack across the available grades with TDS and SDS, normally dispatched within three working days. Tell us the application and the effect you are targeting and we will narrow the pack to the two or three grades most likely to match.
